Thank you for showing us your work of art. I became interested in DIY musical instruments a few years ago due to a personal tragedy. I'd been hit by a car. After the hospital, I was sent to a nursing home. It took me a year and a half to fight my way home to my house. I had no musical instrument when I was in the nursing home. I was very lonely and bored. I decided to take advantage of my current freedom to learn to make musical instruments from whatever is available, so that i can make something to play even in a nursing home. I've made a tiny ukelele, but it is difficult to play. I should have made it full-sized. Anyway, you are a kindred spirit. Thank you for keeping traditional skills alive.
Wow. Superb job. Back in the mid 80's I lived in London. Some weekends we would go to a Greek restaurant and the owner and his friends would play bouzoukis. Thank you
And remember there's the Irish bouzouki too. I know it sounds like the start of a joke but there really is. The Irish bouzouki has a flat back and usually has four courses. It was popularised by bands like Planxty and The Bothy Band in the 70s.
I feel like someone is paddling in a canoe down a river in Georgia and they hear Banjo music! Cool build. Never heard of this but it seems like something from the folksy folks in the Appalachian Mountains! I want one!
Lovely build, Dimitris...and a beautiful way to honor your Greek heritage. Your craftsmanship in both the build and the video are excellent. Well done!
Another fantastic build Dimitris, thank you for all your attention to detail and showing us so carefully. So many little bits of education in here, I always learn something new from your vids. Today, the home-made nut and saddle vice - that's something I need to make. And thanks for the music!
Brilliant 😊 I love everything about it. I've been making canjo's for a while and I like this orientation and set up for the tin. I will definitely try it 😊 ॐ
Just came across this by chance. Watched it all the way through fascinated. Makes me want to go out to the shed and make one. Beautiful sound. Then I'll have to learn how to play it. Thanks for sharing, best wishes.
@@gnomepilled103 I actually bought a kamence a couple years later and yes, similar idea. Mine used a tin can for both the body and resonating surface (instead of skin) with a neck that pokes through so the strings are attached to the other end. It looks most similar to a Kazakh style with the cylinder type body. My Persian kamence body is walnut turned to the shape of a gourd.
I'm glad that I found this your YT Channel. Great ideas and good craftsmanship, really inspiring... Only, if I may say, please extreme safety when using sawing machines, keeping your fingers off and protected... Thanks for sharing
I've never watched this channel before, so forgive the ignorance in me thinking and assuming this would be a quick and easy build but the guy puts most major guitar brands today to shame with the level of detail and quality involved in making this instrument. Mind. Blown. I wish I was talented enough to play this and appreciate the true craftsmanship and effort involved in making it. So good though. Liked and subscribed ❤️🤘🏻
Lmao I thought I was gonna learn how to make a simple instrument you can throw together and suddenly I’m back to just learning how to make a guitar, minus the body. Awesome work.
Impressive, and a very skilled craftsman. Will have to say though, there were a few times I was worried I wouldn't be able to see you play it after you cut off your fingers on that table saw.
Encantador seu instrumento, poderia dizer o comprimento da escala e a afinaçao usada? Aqui no Brasil não encobtrei nenhuma informação. Desde já agradeço a atenção. Parabens pelo belo trabalho.
This was awesome. I strongly dislike some of the other channels on here (unrelated to instruments) where the guy working is making some abomination in their garage.
Not worth risking your fingers with the table saw like that -- use a hand saw in a vise for that tiny part! I love my cheap pattern maker's vise. You have so many more clever projects to make.
He also has a band saw which is a bit safer than the table saw. But also he probably wouldn’t have used the table saw if he wasn’t confident in his ability to not lose a digit
It sounds like the Turkish instrument cura. but cura 3 wires. This instrument is a bit like an Italian mandolin. But in the end, the effort was made. good luck.
great video like always been watching you for a long time and have even built some instruments with your videos as a guide i would love to see if you would ever consider making a bagpipe type thing or a flute cant wait to see what you do next

Nice to hear that. Thank you very much
My favourite kind of videos from you - when you make DIY music instruments!
Thank you
Yes! I absolutely agree! I just love seeing all those instruments being made.
Me too. I build weird instruments in my garage so these videos give me many ideas. Simon the magpie is also great.

Hands down the most beautiful can instrument I’ve seen
Thank you

how's that even a thing
You're a master and I salute you. Love to Greece ❤

Love it, no "music", no talk, just do!
Το πιο εξαιρετικό. Ευχαριστώ για το ενδιαφέρον και την επιδεξιότητά σας.
It's beautiful! Thanks for playing it at the end
Thank you for watching and commenting
Nice build, brother. I dig canjos and cigar box guitars. I made a canjo bass with one of those holiday popcorn tins and a piezo pickup.
Another fantastic build Dimitris, thank you for all your attention to detail and showing us so carefully. So many little bits of education in here, I always learn something new from your vids. Today, the home-made nut and saddle vice - that's something I need to make.
And thanks for the music!
Thank you Mark. Your comments are always so motivating for me to keep going. :)
@@ScrapwoodCity You're welcome mate. We should all support each other.
I could listen to that little thing for hours. Beautifully done
I don't know what to say against that craftsmanship. Just brilliant. Amazing. Youre a living legend. Thanks a lot
As always, your videos are fantastic. an inspiration to us all. Thank you
Thank you
Amazing job👍, thank you!
Καταπληκτική δουλειά, ευχαριστούμε πολύ!
Ευχαριστώ να'σαι καλά
Didnt expect it sound so good! I want one!
This is rad. Gonna try this when I get some real free time. Thanks! 🙌🏻
Brilliant 😊 I love everything about it. I've been making canjo's for a while and I like this orientation and set up for the tin. I will definitely try it 😊 ॐ
Awesome. Thank you
Has a very unique and distinctive sound. Very nice.
Excelente instrumento felicitaciones por ese Luthier desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Just came across this by chance. Watched it all the way through fascinated. Makes me want to go out to the shed and make one. Beautiful sound. Then I'll have to learn how to play it. Thanks for sharing, best wishes.
Thank you. Give it a try
Άξιος 👏👏👏
Να'σαι καλά
Peace, love and music. ✌❤🎵
:)
Love the sound.
Awesome craftsmanship.
Thank you
ella re.den pistevo- eisai eksipnos! love the dedication at the end-fer to tsikoudia!
Very nice! I actually made a similar instrument a few years ago, but with 3 strings, and I play it with a bow.
Awesome, thanks
Like a kemençe?

That was very satisfying! I'm going to try this using an oval sardine can :)
Beautiful job. Nice tune at the end as well.
Ух ты! Она и звучит как палка с консервной банкой! 👍💥👏👏👏
Yes it does indeed. One step above nails on a chalkboard.
Amazing! I wouldn't sand the can though. It would be a nice twist to leave the can painted...
Thank you. I guess you could but I think it looks nicer sanded.
I'm glad that I found this your YT Channel.
Great ideas and good craftsmanship, really inspiring...
Only, if I may say, please extreme safety when using sawing machines, keeping your fingers off and protected...
Thanks for sharing
Thank you
Outstanding brother 👏. Thanx for sharing.
Great work there, and a great tribute too.
Thank you
sounds unique !! would love to have this sound for recording music
Really nice job on the neck. A can't wait to hear how it sounds
Very creative & well done as usual SWC! OOMPAH!! Be well & stay safe...... 👍👍😉😉😷😷
Thank you my friend, you too
10/10 for the baglama 20/10 for the t-shirt..... Άξιος μαστορα
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου, να'σαι καλά
Beautiful tiny music instrument ! The pitch is so high.
Thank you
Great craftsmanship
Tried this with a Nescafé frappe can for more bass. Turned out ok, thanks this was really helpful.
Thank you. Glad I helped
An incredibly skilled artisan. Salud
A lot of effort and skill. I can't wait to see your guitar or mandolin.
Ωραίος και πρωτότυπος ! Μπράβο !!!
Σ'ευχαριστώ
Excellent skills and a great collection of tools well done
Thank you
I think it would be beautiful with the graphics on the tin can. Like the cigar box guitars.
I've never watched this channel before, so forgive the ignorance in me thinking and assuming this would be a quick and easy build but the guy puts most major guitar brands today to shame with the level of detail and quality involved in making this instrument. Mind. Blown.

Thank you very much for the nice words my friend
Awesome job, I make cigar box guitars, I like the sound of this.
Thank you. Nice to hear that
Stuffed vine leaves-yummy! Nice job once again.

Thank you
This looks so fun to be able to make. ❤️👍
It would be funny to see a number 1 hit song with someone playing this instrument
Great work.
You do work with left Hand and play the Baglama to right.
Cooool …
Lots of work, and detail, well done!
Thank you
Impressive, and a very skilled craftsman. Will have to say though, there were a few times I was worried I wouldn't be able to see you play it after you cut off your fingers on that table saw.
Que gran trabajo eres profesional lindo instrumento
Great work. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you
This one founds better than your other instruments I've heard.
Realmente uma arte!!
Cool sound!
Thank you
Amazing job. Very interesting video. Thanks.
Thank you
Wao ese hombre talentoso es un genio!

Thanks for the video 💖🙏
Оригинально! Лайк :)
Thank you
Outstanding work, my friend 💙
thank you very much
Great job man, I want to build one of these
Thank you. You should try it
Забавный видос!! Красавчик, люблю полет мысли 😅😅
Πολύ ωραίο το μπαγλαμαδάκι, Δημήτρη. Και πολύ ωραίο το αφιέρωμα στους ανθρώπους που βρήκανε τον τρόπο να συνεχίζεται η μουσική μέσα στους πόνους.
Ευχαριστώ. Πράγματι ο άνθρωπος έχει ανάγκη την τέχνη ειδικά στον πονο. Είναι το βάλσαμο του
Incroyable, quel magnifique savoir-faire ! 😳😲🤩😍
love and respect from turkey!
i'm currently building a 4-string mando-guitar from scrap, and your videos gave me the motivation
Nice to hear that my friend
i'm gonna post a video when i'm done, so stay tuned!
Как остаться с пальцами при таком отношении к ТБ... инструмент интересный, не поспоришь)
Wah ji wah kamaal kar diya
What is ji;
WOW.. you did it Super ... very very nice ..
thank you

Over the top 👌👍👌👍👌👍
Really cool 😊
Thank you
Awesome sounding bouzouki man. Nice Job!!!!
hopa! sounds better than a baglamadaki!!!
Gostei parabéns
Φοβερός ρε Δημήτρη!
Λέω και εγώ δεν θα παίξει στο τέλος Χαχαχαχαχαχ!!! Ωραίος ρε !!! Τελικά το σύρμα στα τάστα είναι απλό γαλβανιζε η Μπρούζος η Αλπακας?
Ευχαριστώ Κώστα. Δεν είμαι σίγουρος για το ταστο. Νομιζω ανοξειδωτο. Πάντως είναι αυτό που μου έχει στείλει ο Σάκης πριν κάτι χρόνια. Έχω πολύ ακόμη.
Very nice! (and watch out for your fingers on that table saw my dude, we don't want to see you hurt)
neat sounding lil guy
nice work, well done,
Thank you
Çok güzel olmuş tebrik ederim :)
Thank you very much
Someone have to play Thin Can Alley on that thing !😂
Lol
I like that sound
Thank you
Bravo! 👍👍👏
Thank you
Φίλε Δημήτρη, φοβερή δουλειά! Μια ερώτηση μόνο, τις χορδές τις παίρνεις απ'το ίντερνετ;
Ευχαριστώ. Όχι τις συγκεκριμένες από κάποιο κατάστημα στη γειτονιά μου
Εντάξει, ευχαριστώ πολύ👍
Not worth risking your fingers with the table saw like that -- use a hand saw in a vise for that tiny part! I love my cheap pattern maker's vise. You have so many more clever projects to make.
Right? That part sent shivers down my spine 😬
He also has a band saw which is a bit safer than the table saw. But also he probably wouldn’t have used the table saw if he wasn’t confident in his ability to not lose a digit
Can't see what is going on too fast.
If you "Lose a finger" 😦
Just set it up with one less string, 😁
I just noticed your t-shirt! Λελεύω εγώ την ψυsh πουλόπομ! greetings from London!!!
χαχα σ'ευχαριστώ αδερφέ
That’s awesome 🥹
Thank you
It sounds like the Turkish instrument cura. but cura 3 wires. This instrument is a bit like an Italian mandolin. But in the end, the effort was made. good luck.
Perfect 🇪🇬
Πολυ δυνατος ο μαστορας!
Σ’ευχαριστω να’σαι καλά
great video like always been watching you for a long time and have even built some instruments with your videos as a guide i would love to see if you would ever consider making a bagpipe type thing or a flute cant wait to see what you do next
Thank you. I can’t really play wind instruments but I have a couple of projects in mind
